King Lear Original Text
1,481 words
When dealing with text of Jacobean writers such as
Shakespeare, one has a great deal of freedom in
interpreting it. His words are full of not only
meaning, but entendre's, alliterations, and
metaphors that allows a great deal of artistic
freedom when actualizing it into performance.
Perhaps that is why his plays have been a longtime
favorite standard performance material, and more
recently (the past 100 years), have become very
popular to produce and present What allows for
Shakespeare to be pre...

a corporeal body. It is a physical entity, subject
to all the laws of physics. Yet, we experience
ourselves, our internal lives, external events in
a manner which provokes us to postulate the
existence of a corresponding, non-physical onto's,
entity. This corresponding entity ostensibly
incorporates a dimen...

Miss Emily House Rose For Emily
2,179 words
Rose For Emily A Rose For Emily was written by
William Faulkner in 1931. Not only is this story
sad, and in the end a bit horrific, but it appears
to be somewhat autobiographical. It is written
with a certain first-hand knowledge. There appears
to be a direct link between Emily and the author,
not the narrator, but the author, William
Faulkner. Some indications of this relationship
can be found in the characters and the setting.
Mr. Faulkner seemed to be at a low point in his
life when he wrote ...

committees, or universities, to limit the view of
a specific artwork or a group of works by the

Work Of Art Mechanical Reproduction

In The Work of Art in the Age of Mechanical
Reproduction, Walter Benjamin discusses the
changing role and meaning of art throughout
history. He states that the mechanical
reproduction of art lessens the meaning of the art
to those who view it. The very existence of
mechanical reproduction of art has itself spawned
new forms of art which are completely subject to
or, like the film, founded in, mechanical
reproduction. [p. 230 Benjamin] Benjamin focuses
on the art of film for the majority of this ...
